Paula Abbott is a Licensed Professional Counselor in Texas (TX LPC 61280) with 30 years of professional experience. She is a trauma-informed therapist who works with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, parenting concerns, depression, and coping with life changes.
Paula is a registered play therapist and regularly works with children and their parents together. She identifies as a female therapist, is gay, is older, and describes herself as non-religious and politically liberal.
She operates from the belief that clients are the experts of their own stories and possess strengths that help them move through challenges. Paula recognizes that beginning therapy requires courage and she is proud of clients who take that first step toward support and growth.
Many people wonder whether online therapy can truly help. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or navigating life changes, online therapy has been shown to be just as effective as traditional in-person sessions.
A major benefit is flexibility - clients can connect in the way that fits their life, choosing video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging. This range of options makes it easier to schedule and attend sessions around work, family, and other commitments.
Sessions are provided by licensed professionals, and clients have the option to switch therapists if they would like a different fit. Online therapy offers an accessible path for many people seeking support for everyday mental health concerns.
